History Extension exam thoughts (1 Viewer)

They were both shit questions i was just yapping on about random stuff i had no idea what they were asking for for each question so s1 i said histiorographical debate of subjective or objective historical truth and s2 just how forms of communication (books, films ect) are manipulated idc anymore maybe im just gonna go to tafe

I talked about ABBA for question 2 in terms of popular history and songs/movies being a form of communication

And question 1 i just talked about how debates spur historians on to explore new methodologies - I will be ecstatic if I get a band E3

I swear that's exactly what I wrote for both as well, surely if two of us wrote it we can't be wrong

The real counterfactual history is what we could have achieved if the questions were actually helpful

lol me too i found question 2 easier just because i wasn't even sure what i was supposed to be arguing in q1

Same I went in thinking I’d do better in q1 than q2 and then I come out of there thinking the opposite

 

[mmmmmmmmaaaaaaa]

Heyy how’d everyone go? I was pleasantly surprised that they didn’t give a stimulus for Q2

a hist ext teacher said alignment will be good this year (or better)

 

[souli]

Don’t do it it’s hellish

No way I love history

[SamDavisEnjoyer420]

Honestly a love-hate relationship with ext, my only piece of advice is be prepared bc it’s nothing like ancient or modern 🫶🫶
